The Hampton County Watermelon Festival runs through Sunday. The fishing contest is today at Lake Warren State Park. The majority of the festival events takes place around the Hampton County Courthouse. From Bluffton, take Interstate 95 north to Exit 38/Yemassee/Hampton toward Varnville/Hampton. Turn left on Yemassee Highway (S.C. 68N/U.S. 278) and go about 20 miles. It will take you about one hour and 13 minutes to reach downtown Hampton. The parade at 10 a.m. Saturday follows U.S. 278 from Varnville to Hampton. Go to www.hcwf.site.aplus.net to get exact locations for each event.
